[PyGame] Starting place for Pygame Mobile app
#1
For anyone who's made mobile apps before, where is a smart place to start making a pygame game for android? Is there a simple template I can dissect somewhere? Pygame, I get. How to develop on my PC for a mobile device and make it work, not so much. Can it be done with just python and pygame or are other libraries required?

Any pro-tips about how to set off in the right directions would be greatly appreciated. Tnx

Did you look around the Internet? A quick search found, e.g.

https://wiki.python.org/moin/Android
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1017...on-android

and many others.

Obviously. This my post here, which to me clear is on the internet, was literally part of me doing that. If we look at your first link it lists 6 packages I don't know and have absolutely no way for me to know which to go with, why I would and how popular they are if I run into problems and need to ask questions. Are those 6 the only options? The best options? Are they needed for the task or are they for a bunch of online functionality I don't need? I was seeking advice from people who have done this as to where to start. It, for whatever reason, seems daunting to me.

Which of these libraries do you use for your pygame games on Android? Why that one and not the others and would you suggest it for a beginner?

While saying "Google it", might seem useful to somebody somewhere (but probably not). To someone who did search, was awash in hundreds/thousands of results of varying age and complexity, and was hoping someone in the know might want take a minute to help me focus my effort a little, it's rude and mean spirited. I also found tutorials on Youtube that run over 6 hours to make pong on android. Is that the best place to start? Doesn't seem like it, but that's why I sought a helpful person.
